Quote:From the first draft when we went back 2 back Ot and then chose 3 wr's in the same draft. Gene Smith's approach seemed as if he was just trying to find positions that stuck and i hated that.

 

I began to have doubts after this too. Two tackles and three receivers. Next year, back to back DT - that played the same DT position no less. The WR picks made little sense also. We basically ended up with a traffic jam of middling talent at WR, when those picks could've been used for depth at positions we had UDFA level talent at.

 

Also, I have a different take on GS seemingly falling in love with his players. I don't think he was falling in love with players so much as he was removing so much talent due to his "character" and "passion for the game" mantra from his board, that he was left with much lesser (and fewer) talents on his board to draw from.

 

However, the point I realized he was a absolute problem was the Anger pick.
